What can fantasy owners expect from the Habs and Rangers next season?

 

 

Even though there is still the entry draft and free agency to come, we can still look at current NHL rosters and get an indication of things to come next year.  The goal will not be to cover every player, but rather to focus more in-depth on some areas of great interest to fantasy owners, especially cases where there is some uncertainty that has a great impact on player values. In the final installment of the Fantasy Outlook series or the Eastern Conference we will look at the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers.

 

 

Montreal Canadiens

 

Despite not being a high-scoring unit collectively, the Canadiens possess many players that are impactful in fantasy hockey. In particular, Max Pacioretty has become an elite fantasy player over the last couple years. Not only is he one of the best goal scorers in hockey but his effectiveness across most categories have made him a must-own in roto leagues. In addition to the goals, Pacioretty is one of the best at getting pucks on net and is a dangerous option on the penalty kill, not to mention that he tied for the league lead in plus/minus this year.
